now that we are in, some beauty in the mess

Now that we are in we are learning some things about the house.  For instance here are some pictures of our window.  This is how we gauge how cold it is outside...the more beautiful frost pattern on the inside of the window, the colder it is outside :)

On the left there is only a little bit of frost so it's not very cold out.  On the Right there is a beautiful pattern!! It must be VERY cold!!!!

I am sure you have all seen a house where someone has just moved in but just for giggles and kicks, here are a few photos of our unpacking mess!

And Below is our first supper here at the new house!! My wonderful friend brought me the tulips as a house warming gift! Super thoughtful and made our mess look so much prettier :)

Our first meal was spaghetti, super easy and yummy!!  However our next couple of meals were more just whatever you can find until I get this kitchen organized! lol

One of the first things we did after moving in was to get a newish faucet.  The one that we had was brutal, I couldn't get a pot under it because it was so low to the sink and there was something else but now I can't remember what :)

Anyways we found a faucet on Kijiji!! Love that place.  We didn't want to spend a lot of money on a new faucet because I had plans down the road to get another one like I had at the highway house.  So my husband met the person and came home and installed the faucet, perfect.....except the next day I saw this:

Yep, it was dripping :(  So some more fiddling ensued.....Eventually we just came to an agreement, the faucet and us, that it just was not a good quality tap but it will do in the mean time!

Well there is not much more we can do at this point.  We are in, boxes are half unpacked everywhere, it's February 2015 and our house on the highway will be closing at the end of the month so I will have to go and do a final clean of that house.  But other then that we are on hold.  We know that the house is sinking on one side but until we know if it is still sinking or has sunk and is not moving anymore then it is no use to start doing any Reno's on the one side of the house.

So here we sit on hold, dreaming of ideas......who knows what we will come up with.

ONE TIP FOR RENOVATING!

Maybe more for moving then renovating but having someone to watch your kids so that you can unpack for a few hours in peace and quiet is priceless!!!
